Referring now to Fig. 2, it shows example image analytical system 200.Image analysis system 200 is for example communicated by letter with the vision inspection system 104 of Fig. 1 via communication interface 204.For example, or as mentioned above, image analysis system 200 can carry out integrated (, carrying out integrated with display unit 112, inspection camera 108 and/or another device of vision inspection system 104) with vision inspection system 104.For example, communication interface 204 receives the view data from vision inspection system 104.View data is stored in image data memory 208.Only, as example, image data memory 208 comprises the nonvolatile memory of storing image data.View data comprises video data and/or Still image data.
Each frame is classified corresponding to the feature of cross borehole and/or horizontal pipeline and according to the feature of identification in each frame of classifier modules 212 recognition image data.For example, classifier modules 212 realizes sorter model, and this sorter model is analyzed and classifies each frame according to the feature in frame.Only, as example, each frame is assigned with one or more mark, and described mark includes but not limited to " horizontal pipeline ", " without horizontal pipeline ", " cross borehole " and/or " without cross borehole ".Classifier modules 212 is stored in the view data of classification in the image data memory 216 of classification.The view data of classification is offered vision inspection system 200 or another device or user's (for example,, according to request) by communication interface 204.
Image analysis system 200 comprises model adaptation module 220, and model adaptation module 220 generates and adjust the sorter model of classifier modules 212.The for example feedback data based on receiving via communication interface 204 of model adaptation module and/or training data generate and adjust sorter model.The feedback of the view data of the relevant classification being provided by the operator/user of vision inspection system 104 is provided feedback data.For example, operator observe the view data of classification and the feature of identification and provide the accuracy of the view data of indication classification feedback (for example, distribute to classification image data frame mark whether correct).
Relatively, training data can comprise and have feature the training image data (for example, training video) of the various combinations of (for example, cross borehole, without cross borehole, horizontal pipeline and/or without horizontal pipeline).Model adaptation module 220 is from training image extracting data feature and correspondingly each frame is marked the training data of (for example, using a model) and storage classification.The training data of classification and the test data of the actual characteristic of indication training image data are compared the result with assessment models by model adaptation module 220.Model adaptation module 220 is upgraded the model being used by classifier modules 212 according to this result.
Referring now to Fig. 3, example model adaptation module 300 comprises training image data sorter module 304, training and testing data storage module 308 and outcome evaluation module 312.Training image data sorter module receives training image data and feedback data, extracts the feature of indication cross borehole and/or horizontal pipeline and the training image data of classification are offered to training and testing data storage module 308 from training image data.Only, as example, the training image data of classification can be divided into two groups, and wherein first group of training image data comprises corresponding to feature and second group of training image data of cross borehole and comprise the feature corresponding to horizontal pipeline.Outcome evaluation module 312 is by the training image data of classification and test data compares and performance based on this comparative assessment model.The output (for example, model is adjusted signal) of outcome evaluation module 312 is indicated the performance of model and is provided for classifier modules 212 correspondingly this model is adjusted.
Training image data can comprise the multiple videos that are for example arranged in the different sets that comprises different individual features.For example, training image data can comprise horizontal inspection training set, and this laterally checks that training set comprises more than first video with horizontal pipeline and more than second video without horizontal pipeline.Relatively, training image data can also comprise that cross borehole checks training set, and this cross borehole checks that training set comprises more than first video with cross borehole and more than second video without cross borehole.
Training image and data sorter module 304 are for each in horizontal pipeline and cross borehole, and extraction can be indicated one or more feature of horizontal pipeline or cross borehole.Feature can include but not limited to the discrete histogram of parallel lines, colouring information, K mean cluster and/or gradient magnitude.For example, the parallel lines in image data frame can be indicated horizontal pipeline.Classifier modules 304 can realize edge detector with the Hough line in inspection image data, select for example, for example, a strongest Hough line in a Hough line in Hough line L1 (in Hough line the strongest a Hough line) and selection (, in the threshold value of L1 for example in 5 °) Hough line L2 parallel with L1.May cause under the situation for uneven line, can applying perspective and analyzing (Perspective analysis) in actual view data along the direction trend of camera at pipeline.Can use Kalman filter to follow the tracks of adjusts corresponding to the probability of horizontal pipeline line L1 and line L2.For example, Kalman filter is followed the tracks of the end position that can follow the tracks of to predict from initial test point pipeline to doubtful horizontal pipeline.If the end position of prediction is corresponding to the actual feature detecting in frame, this frame may comprise horizontal pipeline.
Colouring information can be indicated horizontal pipeline and/or cross borehole.For example, training image and data sorter module 304 for example can realize HSV histogram, to be identified in the amount color of the known color of the public utility pipeline of certain type (, corresponding to) of selected color in the part of image data frame.
K mean cluster can be indicated horizontal pipeline and/or cross borehole.For example, on histogram single Gaussian Profile of (for example,, on tone) can distribute corresponding to for example, double gauss without (, on tone) on cross borehole and histogram can be corresponding to cross borehole.
The discrete histogram of gradient magnitude can for rim detection and indication horizontal pipeline and cross borehole the two.Only, as example, can for example, after application Gaussian Blur and edge detector (, Canny edge detector) removal noise, calculate discrete histogram.In this histogram, the relatively strong edge of peak value indication more than threshold value.
Extracting after feature from training image Frame, training image and data sorter module 304 mark (classifying via operator/user input) to the each frame in frame.Mark can comprise " horizontal pipeline ", " without horizontal pipeline ", " cross borehole " and/or " without cross borehole " and can comprise sub-mark, for example " approach horizontal pipeline ", the type (for example, sandy soil, clay, rock soil etc.) of " approaching cross borehole " and soil.For model adaptation module 300, mark is manually applied (, by human operator/user).In other words, operator observes each frame and the visual properties based in image marks frame.
For the each feature in the feature of extracting, the mark of model adaptation module 300 based on being distributed by operator carrys out assigned characteristics corresponding to cross borehole, without cross borehole, horizontal pipeline and/or the probability without horizontal pipeline.For example, feature (for example, two the strong parallel lines) how many times of classifier modules 304 based on corresponding extraction is finally labeled as by operator the probability that horizontal pipeline distributes two strong parallel lines indication horizontal pipelines.Relatively, feature (for example, two the strong parallel lines) how many times of classifier modules 304 based on corresponding extraction is finally labeled as without horizontal pipeline and distributes two strong parallel lines not correspond to the probability of horizontal pipeline (, without horizontal pipeline) by operator.Therefore, the each feature in the feature of extraction is assigned with corresponding probability.Then, according to the training image data of mark storage classification.For example, can pass through frame number (for example, 1,2 ... n) with training and testing data storage 308 in corresponding mark and indicate each feature, corresponding to the data of the probability of corresponding mark, each frame is carried out to index.
Test data is stored in training and testing data storage 308 together with training image data.Test data frame corresponding to test data is fewer than training image data.In other words the view data that, is stored in the major part in training and testing data storage 308 is corresponding to training image data rather than test data.As mentioned above, by operator, training image data are marked.By contrast, operator does not mark test data.But, according to model, the test data that may comprise the image data frame identical with the part of training image data is analyzed.The training image data of the analysis result (, the mark of distribution and/or probability) of test data and mark compare to determine the accuracy of model.Can adjust model based on this accuracy.For example, outcome evaluation module 312 can be determined the error rate being associated with the assessment of test data and/or the vision response test being associated with multiple assessments.
Referring again to Fig. 2, classifier modules 212 is analyzed (, from image, extracting feature) and the feature based on extracting and training image data to the view data receiving from image data memory 208 and is calculated each frame and comprise cross borehole, do not comprise cross borehole, comprise horizontal pipeline or do not comprise the probability of horizontal pipeline.For example, frame comprises that the probability of cross borehole can comprise the combination corresponding to the each probability in the probability of cross borehole of each feature in the feature detecting in frame.Frame does not comprise that the probability of cross borehole can comprise the combination corresponding to the each probability in the probability without cross borehole of each feature in the feature detecting in frame.Frame comprises that the probability of horizontal pipeline can comprise the combination corresponding to the each probability in the probability of horizontal pipeline of each feature in the feature detecting in frame.Frame does not comprise that the probability of horizontal pipeline can comprise the combination corresponding to the each probability in the probability without horizontal pipeline of each feature in the feature detecting in frame.
Only as example, can be according to the whole bag of tricks, for example Naive Bayes Classification is calculated probability.For example, the probability that Naive Bayes Classification can be based on distributing to parallel lines detection, colouring information and discrete histogrammic probability calculation frame and comprise horizontal pipeline.If calculate probability be greater than threshold value, classifier modules 212 by horizontal pipeline subcarrier label assignments to frame.Only, as example, threshold value can be (for example, 50%) of fixing and/or can be adjusted into comparatively responsive (, reducing) or more insensitive (, improving).Classifier modules 212 determine whether in a similar fashion by without horizontal pipeline, cross borehole, without the subcarrier label assignments of cross borehole to frame.In other embodiment, probability may simply be individual features probability and, average or any other combination.
In addition,, for some frames, for example, may all be less than corresponding threshold value for all probability of distribute labels (, horizontal pipeline, without horizontal pipeline, cross borehole and without cross borehole).Therefore, frame may not have the qualification of the arbitrary mark in mark.For this frame, classifier modules 212 can be carried out " arest neighbors " and be calculated to distribute one or more mark.For example, classifier modules 212 can the feature based on extracting determine which training image Frame is the most similar to this frame.The mark of classifier modules 212 based on distributing to immediate training image Frame marks this frame.
